“Community Assembly”

What do we want to represent
An alternative pathway to run communities large scale and small.
Fostering regular community engagement at all levels in their daily lives and the larger.
(Materialist understanding of issues)
Pragmatism
(use of the system science cybernetics)
Revival of beneficial traditional methodologies and the implementation of new ones.
Repair of communities and surroundings, eg: fixing of urban sprawl, alienation, public infrastructure etc…
Creating community through events and activities.
Kaitiakitanga - the concept of guardianship and protection
Synergetic understanding of our place in the universe.
Protection and guardianship of the entire ecosystem.
Doesn’t mean solid and unmoving, but dynamic and up for improvement eg: when disasters happen, there is no point protecting “mother earth's way”
What are our goals
Short-term
Create the foundation and framework that would aid in setting up our long term goals economically & politically.
The creation of tools and helping people connect up so they can organise in the system we are currently in, eg: unions, coops.
A think tank and spreading ideas of alternative methods of functioning, housing -> cohousing, etc...
Education and enabling others to explore their understanding of community structures, build awareness of systemic societal failures under current system
Long-term
Running of large regions from the bottom up.
What are our methods
Spreading ideas and methods by removing the use of marxist and general leftist terminology as to maximise target audience capture, and to side step conservative red-scare.
Pushing the idea of responsibility, not just rights (as rights don’t mean anything alone)
Working with already established organisations and movements to achieve short term goals.
Using understanding of sociology, coding and politics to come up with an alternative method for policy and legislation creation eg: use of if/ then statements (include scaling for situation/context eg: children, illness)
What are our fundamental drives
Decentralised politics either through bottom up confederations or alternatives
Decentralised economic planning
Direct democracy
Collaboration
Strive for human eudaimonia
